Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
“Whoever finds his life, will lose it . . .”
Whoever ‘gets it all together,’ will see it all fall apart.
Whoever “lays up treasures on earth, will find moth, rust, thieves ruining it.”
Whoever “lays up treasures in heaven, will find moth, rust, thieves not ruining it.”
Whoever ‘gives it all up’ for Jesus, will get what he can never lose.
He will find permanently secure investment—and peace and satisfaction now.
God gives eternal returns, generously, guaranteed.
Actually, the magazine Christianity Today has been leaning for some time.
But to openly join the other side calling for the end of Trump’s presidency departs from anything faithful to their name ‘Christianity.’
I am thankful for Franklin Graham weighing in decisively that his dad would be grieved by the magazine he founded.
Franklin went even farther and said Billy Graham voted for Trump.
It seems so many are losing their bearings these days, so those keeping their Biblical foundation stand out even more clearly—thank God for that.
Chick-fil-A, Hallmark Channel—who is next?
When I asked that question to two pastor friends of mine, they both answered (independent of each other), “The church.”
It only took a day or two for Christianity Today to meet their prediction.
One of the best, Biblical responses to this latest disaster is by Doug Giles on clashdaily.com.
Be sure to read that, and pray.
+Why so many fires in California?
+Is there any solution?
+How about prevention?
– – –
Maybe it’s time for an old-fashioned ‘fire prevention week’ with kids creating posters.
Maybe they could come up with the obvious solutions that ‘environmentalist agenda’ people don’t want to consider.
– – –
“Why so many fires in California?”
Because there is so much that can burn so close to powerlines and homes.
– – –
“Is there any solution?”
No quick fix for the fires burning now and starting now.
– – –
“How about prevention?”
Yes.
Fire prevention, no-brainer—clear brush under powerlines, so winds can’t start a fire there—clear brush to create fire breaks to protect residential/business areas—harvest trees for lumber with a plan that sustains the forest and reduces the enormous waste when it goes up in flames, out of control.
– – –
Just as we take steps to make deadly highway intersections safer, likewise there are cost-effective solutions to the deadly fires.
. . . TO FUNDAMENTALLY FINISHING OFF AMERICA.
That was the intent—the assumed ‘done deal’—that was thwarted in the last presidential election.
That remains the passionate intent of all those who lost in that election.
The frenzied flailing against everything that made America great, confirms the completed title above.
I plead for prayer for America more than ever.
I heard David Limbaugh talking about his new book, GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY.
I recommend it.
Infant baptism sends more people to hell than heaven.
– – –
Some professional survey organization should track statistics of infant baptized people, and how many lived for Jesus till they died.
– – –
The giveaway church practice that prompts and proves the opening statement above is this:
Every church that baptized someone as an infant will blanketly declare at their funeral that the person is in heaven because the church administered that baptism.
– – –
That funeral statement not only declares church authority to guarantee heaven by their ritual, but also gives false hope to all in the audience if they do what that church says—it’s not really about a personal decision to follow Jesus.
That gets tacked on a dozen years after baptism, hopefully.
– – –
But if the person in the casket stuck with the church enough to qualify for the church funeral, then they probably stuck with the church long enough to do the second routine ritual—‘reaffirmation’ confirmation—at 12 years or so, like everybody else (good church members).
And that will also be declared publicly at the funeral, as further guarantee of heaven.
– – –
If the church says you’re in heaven, you’re in ? ? ?
Can a person have a comeback and return to the narrow road after compromising to fit in with the Godless culture and appease its leaders?
Can a company have a comeback and return to the narrow road after compromising to fit in with the Godless culture and appease its leaders?
Not likely.
The cost is great for standing on Biblical values and standing up for them publicly now in sodomized America.
This is true for individuals and for companies—and companies are led by individuals.
The leaders of Chik-fil-A took a lot of heat for standing on Biblical values, and for stating so publicly.
But that will be nothing compared to the increased heat, the pounding, they will now face from the Godless culture leaders after their compromise this week.
AND, even that will be nothing compared to the persecution they will experience if they come back to the Bible, and declare it publicly, like they did before.
But they will again have God’s approval, God’s smile, and the overwhelming support of Christians who created the long lines at Chik-fil-A in the first place—an ongoing trademark at their restaurants.
Just how does this apply to the rest of us?
That depends on whether we follow Jesus and His Word?
“All who live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”
“Do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is going to try you.”
So, “Choose this day whom you will serve.”
“Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.”
That verse always sounded like a peaceful prayer, quietly relaxing to show that you are turning everything over to God.
Maybe so, but that doesn’t fit my reality very often. It seems like another requirement to get in just the right faith mode before God, so you can show you’ve let your troubles go.
More likely—a desperate scream for help at wits end does the job better.
“GOD HELP!”
“I CAN’T DO THIS!”
Not pretty—not to show others we got it all together.
Brutal honesty—total dependency—so God can take over.
Catholicism—continually add something to the Bible for Catholics to follow.
Denominations—emphasize what makes them unique with apparent exclusive corner on truth.
Near Death Experiences—impressive individual experience must be the way to follow.
David Brackin—friend, gone, claimed a personal meeting with Jesus, but the Bible is junk.
Mormonism—their leader got the only correct revelation from God.
Jehovah’s Witness—their leader got the only correct revelation from God.
Islam—their leader got the only correct revelation from God (don’t claim Christianity).
Chrislam—invent impossible common ground between Christianity and Islam.
‘Christian’ Yoga—claim the rituals have no spiritual impact.
“I believe . . .”—free to come up with anything, and expect God to be okay with it.
‘Christian’ lgbt—conveniently bypass everything that does not approve, endorse the lifestyle.
Just Love—selectively exclude sin, confession, repentance.
Biblical perspective is directly opposite the democrat platform of today.
Biblical perspective is directly opposite most democrats of today.
Biblical perspective is directly opposite all the democrat presidential candidates of today.
In most cases there is an lgbt required endorsement for a democrat to hold office or run for office.
Biblical perspective is also becoming increasingly unwelcome in business.
Biblical perspective is even becoming marginalized and silenced in the church.
Inclusion has fooled nearly everyone by concealing the politically correct working definition.
Now, inclusion means mandatorily including lgbt and militantly excluding Christianity.
And “abortion is a sacred right”*—the sacrament** of the prevailing religion of sex and tolerance.
Is Biblical Perspective Political?
Biblical Perspective is not ambiguous.
Biblical Perspective is Biblical.
Culture and politics react to Biblical Perspective, when it is proclaimed and practiced, but they do not change Biblical Truth.

**sacrament—commemorating or practicing a sacrifice of life
Global Warming means Global Control—means to an end.
Government Gives means Government Takes.
Universal Care means Universal Rationing.
Capitalism Grows more freedom—Government Grows less freedom.
Capitalism Generates Resources—Government Confiscates Resources.
The best playgrounds provide children the opportunity to be responsible for their own safety. Insurance seldom makes playgrounds safer—it usually just makes lawsuits possible.
Paying for your own health costs makes you work toward staying healthy. That motivation drops when someone else is paying, and then you end up thinking it’s your right to have ‘free’ health care .
